This drama can't be laughed at if it is detailed, it is full of bitterness. It is often said that the core of comedy is tragedy, so this future work full of irony (in fact, it is a contemporary setting) is actually true Digital life is a harsh refutation.
Consumerism
Aside from the plot needs, upload itself is a pseudo-demand, which is roughly equivalent to burning paper money, paper cars, paper houses, etc. But it’s boring like this. Apart from uploading, the whole service is essentially to meet the needs of the living, and the details also reflect the ridicule of consumerism, all kinds of blunt promotions and pop-up windows, angels—essentially It is sales. In order to sell data, we must try our best to make a serious, responsible and considerate attitude.
The background of the times in the play is similar to the current shit, but it is precisely because of the shit of the times, so in this absurd background, there are vivid and touching stories of little people, which contrast with ordinary greatness.
"Digital Hierarchy"
There is a concept of "digital divide" in communication studies, which is nakedly displayed here.
Human beings are inherently good at creating injustice . Strife and competition are the bad roots engraved in their genes. I don’t want to talk about intellectual property rights. It is obviously a data resource that is easily available, has extremely low cost of copying, and can be used to benefit mankind. It should also be distributed according to the three, six, nine, etc. of the people. The screenwriter does not dare to scold them here, so I will scold them.
Stockholm effect
To put it badly, the dead can only serve as a tool for the living to talk and comfort. If the living have no such needs, or their needs are cold, then the dead will be neglected, forgotten, or even deleted. Of course, some people have a sense of morality. Very strong and firm in belief, will always take time to accompany the deceased (even if it is only a pseudo-need). When the deceased is gradually neglected by his family, the greetings sent by the angels out of the need for food can easily make the helpless deceased feel emotional.
The angels' attitude towards this job should be believe it or not. If you just treat them as data, that's it, if you treat them as real people, even if it's just a choice of your own conscience, then it's really a very human manifestation, and it's a kind of empathy , or the performance of empathy, of course I would like to make friends with such kind people.
setbacks and changes
We see that Nathan is a very optimistic and humorous person at heart, but his sudden death made him unhappy. The whole season of the show actually has a touch of sadness before it. Setbacks do make people think and behave. There are certain changes, but fortunately there are cute little angels (even if it is just for the meal at first), and love is the best medicine.
About supporting roles
The characters of good works are always rich and three-dimensional, and different characters will be used to express the different ideas of the screenwriter. Many good ideas are not enough to fit into the protagonists, so there are small children who have a strong desire for control. girlfriend, dating software expert, rich man with the smell of copper and so on.
Among these short stories, my favorite is the child who will always stop at the age of six. We often miss the carefree childhood and adolescence. Now there is an example of permanent childhood in front of us, obviously not So beautiful, he made a lot of efforts in order to "grow up", maybe he can really grow up when he realizes that growing up is not just a change in his body, but then again, who will stay that way for more than ten years? Won't crash yet.
Finally, about love
As the title says, this is a futuristic version of Liang Zhu, or a sci-fi version of "The Love of the Ghosts". Love is so great that it can transcend life and death and connect data and flesh. The last two people reunited in the 2G area, and the 1G traffic disappeared. I joked in the group that just two people would become butterflies and fly. If they became butterflies, they would not have so much traffic, and in this fucking era, I am uneasy and kind. Dad, isn't it a living "The Liang Zhu"? ps: Of course I stand for Nathan and Nora, what kind of love is not a good friend's love!
